And now, for something completely different…

Those of you who follow me on Facebook know I’ve been hinting at an announcement for quite some time. The truth is, I have a lot of different irons in the fire right now and hope to have a couple announcements for you in the coming weeks.

But here’s my big one for today;

Acclaimed young adult author Michelle Zink’s debut adult steamy paranormal romance novella, TEMPTATION’S HEAT, the first in a 3-book series featuring members of The Shadowguard, an elite group of assassins whose passion for forbidden entanglements may bring more than one of them to their knees to Georgia McBride at Swoon Romance by Steven Malk of Writers House for publication in Fall 2012 (World English).

There will be AT LEAST three Shadowguard novellas (the third will be out in January) starting with TEMPTATION’S HEAT and TEMPTATION’S KISS. It has been so much fun to play in this new creative space, and I’m excited to share more about my decision to expand my writing repertoire in the coming days.

For now, I just want to share the good news! The most exciting part? These first two novellas will be out on TUESDAY.

That’s right. THIS TUESDAY, December 4th.

Keep an eye on my Facebook page, Twitter, and this blog for more information plus awesome contests and giveaways. In the meantime, let’s kick off my announcement in style, because you KNOW how I like to give stuff away!

Winning this one is easy; just comment on the covers (here on the blog) thru Tuesday, December 4th, and be entered to win both novellas plus two more from Swoon Romance, Unwrap Me by Samantha Spencer and Carolina Jordan, and Captivated by You by Diane Alberts. Three winners will be chosen at random.

Those covers are awesome! It defiantly draws the reader in, and makes us wonder what kind of steamy adventures we might uncover. These covers are tastefully done and not to cheesy like some romance novels out there, which is great because the cheesy covers just make you want to laugh and your covers actually make me want to read the books. Though I am curious about one bit, it says “adult steamy paranormal romance” yet I don’t see anything truly paranormal on the covers…this makes me wonder if you did this to intrigue us about the paranormal part. I look forward to reading these books eventually!

The covers are good, I get that the covers have to be gorgeous sexy people however wouldn’t it be nice just for a change to see still gorgeous but more relatable people? If bit make the next guy red headed yay, can’t wait for Tuesday x

I’ll take the smokin hot smexy covers over the new object based ones like 50 Shades, etc. I love looking at a hot man on the cover, (grins). My only issue with some covers is when the models on the cover don’t even come close to resembling the description of the characters given in the novel. It’s a pet peeve.

OMG I am so excited!! I had been checking almost every day until I recently had a bit of a family emergency but WOW!!! How did I NOT see these! They are amazing and HOT as heck and I can’t wait to get my hands on them. I am so excited that you are moving into new areas! Talent like yours obviously can not be contained lol I’m not even sure what cover I like better but the guy on Temptations Heat calls to me!! I know this comment was all over the place but you know you just made my night and got me super excited!!
CONGRATS on what I am sure will be a successful venture into a new genre!
